That’s the beauty of buying used! Less financial investment. In this case I went for knock-offs but I usually mod used controllers.

Won’t this delete the two newest files, as opposed to everything except the two newest files?
I just looked up the man page, and actually head -n -2
means “everything up to but not including the last two lines”, so this should always leave two files remaining.
Ah! This is a shell pipe! It’s composing several smaller commands together, cool stuff.
ls -1
is the grep-friendly version of ls, it prints one entry per line, like a shopping list.
head
takes a set number of entries from the head of a list, in this case 2 items. negative two, meaning “all but the last two.”
xargs
takes the incoming pipe and converts it into extra arguments, in this case applying those arguments to rm
.
So, combined, this says “list all the .dump files, pick the first two, all but the last two, and delete them.” Presumably the first are the oldest ones and the last are the newest, if the .dump files are named chronologically.
Dude, no need to be a dick about it. You made your point, the dunk undermines it.
I dunno, I feel like the Steam Deck’s core audience is “people who liked the Switch’s form factor but also like mods and third-party launchers.”
Worth noting that Steam doesn’t track playtime for non-Steam games. So this doesn’t include Minecraft, Retroarch, or anything purchased through Itch, GOG, or Epic.
I agree with you but your tone is way too violent, we should be helping people learn from their mistakes, not infantilizing them.
Ironically enough, it’s led to me playing more games on the living room television! The steam deck helped me adapt to playing with a gamepad, as opposed to mouse and keyboard.
Until they come out with a Steam Controller 2, I will say the best gamepad for steam is the Dualsense (a Dualshock 4 also works). It’s got one touchpad instead of two, but Steam lets you map the left and right half separately, which covers my primary use cases. I also installed the RISE4 remap kit, a hardware mod that adds paddles on the back of the controller which can mimic any face button. Not as good as having actual new buttons, but it does mean I can run and jump without taking my thumb off the right stick.
Like many open source games, it has that distinctly ‘alpha’ feel to it right now, but I do enjoy NodeCore on occasion. It’s a zen minimalist block game with a unique diagetic crafting system. Instead of a traditional “recipe book” or “crafting grid”, you produce new materials through in-world transformations. For instance, to make glass, you have to surround sand with fire, and to control fire, you basically want to build a deliberately-shaped dirt or stone pit… the whole thing feels a little like minecraft and a little like a sand physics sim or cellular automata.
I think part of the problem is just that there are a lot more good games that people know about! Unfortunately one of the tradeoffs for all the riches of heaven is that it’s a lot harder to cover them all.
I hope it gets a PC port. I’m done with Switch exclusives.
this is my current solution; I use Obsidian to manage my notes and I sync the folder with Syncthing. I still use Google Keep though for its whiteboard tool; is there a better app for that?
updated post here, includes section on networking! let me know if this looks good? https://lemmy.world/post/2444639
ah, thank you! it’s actually been long enough that I created a new post here: https://lemmy.world/post/2444639
Very high praise! Let me know what they find helpful or frustrating!
ah, well spotted! I’ll fix that, whoops
Hear hear! I thought I didn’t like the fediverse because Mastodon did such an awful job selling it to me. “Oh, I can’t view other instances’ local timelines without making accounts on them? What’s even the point of federation then?” But on Lemmy you can easily browse communities outside your own instance. So it’s not the fediverse’s fault, Mastodon just doesn’t have a clear audience.
And yeah, I can see how a lot of Mastodon’s features are “privacy-focused”, but I think it does TOO good a job, it’s so private that you can’t find anything!
That doesn’t answer the question, they asked if it’s open source. I agree, I don’t want to replace one sketchy data-harvesting service with another, I’d be a lot more comfortable giving shutup10 control of my system if it was on github or gitlab.
